If platinum based chemotherapy like cisplatin and carboplatin would excerbate your husband's neuropathy, then Erbitux is a reasonable choice. My comments are on when the patient does have a choice between platinum and Erbitux. Here your doctors have determined there is no platinum option. The rash is indeed a very good sign. Best wishes
